I suppose I'll take World Peace in my own hands, as usual.

Or, anyone in LA want to go to the show with me? It's this [link] show?

Send her up here....

I finally got some baking powder in half sized jars - it still goes past the experation date.

so glad Ellie is home and well.

I'm trying to imagine David is unmatched shoes - it does not compute.

As suspected, my breathing is better as the air quality improves. However, I would prefer to breath better.

I've used old (way more than 6 months--probably more like 24) baking powder and it leavened just fine. You're at no health risk from it, anyway.

yeah, I know, just worried that the cake won't rise. a chef friend told me to put a little of it in a bowl, add a little vinegar If it foams, it's still good. Probably not as good as fresh, but still will work.

Because I can.

Did this person tell you they're an Aspie, or do others suspect it?

Tommyrot, sorry...I stepped away.

A friend suspects that Fela is an Aspie. I never really thought about it, but in looking over the symptom lists and the DSM, I'm thinking there is a strong possibility.

If it's so, then it's the good news and the bad news being the same. His social awkwardness, detachment, difficulty with change and overt rudeness with no awareness would be explained away. So yay. The fact that I'll likely never be okay with these aspects of his behavior...not so yay.

It's a real struggle. Do I discuss this with him?

Same friend says I should'nt because it will 'give him an out' if he ISn't Aspie but...isn't the effect the same?

I just dunno.

I have such a hard time reconciling his obvious strong points with this other behavior stuff...and after a year of things being pretty much as they are, I'm wondering about continuing. He's a really good friend. And has superior talents in some ways that are super important to me, but as a boyfriend...he sort of sucks.

I don't want to be angry with him, or to nag him about things that can't change.

I really don't know anything about aspergers other than that I sometimes wonder if I could be explained away with it.

I have been rearranging my house in preparation for holiday events and I have one bookshelf that will NOT stand up straight. I'm hoping filling the shelves will sort of force it upright. Any suggestions that don't require ripping the bookshelf out and burning it? Cuz I kinda need it for now.

Poor Deena!

I just spent the day helping my SIL get ready for a wedding. The hall is GORGEOUS. But, the wedding colors? Red, white, and blue.

Shit. I'm working at the theater all day today, Aims, or I'd happily come out and watch the runt, even though I'm BURNING with JEALOUSY over those tickets.
